Wow.  Didn't see that coming from Mother Taylor.  But I'm glad she was showing Justin the other side of the situation.  It's true that Justin would have had a huge queen out and it would have been so much worse.

It's nice to see Brian be the adult for a change.  I can't wait for their talk.



Author's Response:

Justin, no matter his intentions, was wrong to keep this to himself, and I'm glad that Mother Taylor took him to task for his actions in as calm a manner as possible; this way he really heard the message and it stuck. Brian is justifiably angry at the situation, and Justin needed to see that, had the roles been reversed, he wouldn't have reacted any better than Brian. Thanks for reading! :)

Well played my friend! Now Brian has to eat a little crow too....Now would be the best time for Brian to tell Justin about Blaine.

I know this chapter seems a bit unfair to some, but the fact is that Justin kept all this hidden for years not just a few days...but years. Blaine has only been back in the picture for two weeks. I think at this point Brian knows what’s at stake if Justin found out indirectly the way he did. 



Author's Response:

Yeah, I knew that there might be some people who were upset that Justin got called on his behavior; some because they are staunch Justin fans, and others because of the potential stress issues with his pregnancy. But this needed to happen. Justin isn't perfect; he is a flawed human being that made a serious mistake in keeping the information from Brian. He really should have expected Brian's reaction when he found out. And he was always going to find out at some point. That family can't keep secrets to save their lives; and someone would have eventually heard something. Thanks for reading! :)

Poor guys so much drama I hope the conversation isn't too horrible

Author's Response:

I swear, these two really will be the death of me; I think, that while it might not be the quick resolution everyone is hoping for, it will lead them in the right direction. Thanks for reading! :)

Jennifer the Wise Mom both her boys need right now.

Justin was wrong to not tell Brian everything that was going on and he will accept his lumps, just hope Brian is prepared to accept his aswell?

The scene with them being awkward around each other got me all teary-eyed, just loathe when Brian and Justin aren't comfortable around each other.

But forgiveness takes time and they both need that to face the next obstacle heading their way.



Author's Response:

They really do; it's easy to get caugt up in the moment and inyour own head, and having that older and wiser voice pull you out of that is sometimes necessary. The boys will eventually figure this all out even if there are still some bumps in the road. I hate them being all awkward but after that little blow up, it's expected that they'd be walking on eggshells around each other for a bit. They'll come out of this stronger though. Thanks for reading! :)

Jennifer has really become Brian's mother in law because she knows him so well and takes his side against her own son. I hope Brian knows that.

She was great in this scene with Justin. Kuddos for the way you wrote it.



Author's Response:

Brian really needs a champion; because as much as I love Deb, she sort of failed in that aspect, no matter how much she supposedly helped Brian. It always came at a price for her. Brian really needs someone in his corner that will take his side, even if it's against her own son. And Justin needed to see it from Brian's perspective. who better than Jen, who will know how to cut through his bullshit, to do it? Thanks for reading! :)

Sometimes mothers do know best.

They'll scream and yell and talk and get through it. It's what they do.



Author's Response:

They really do; and best, they'll call you on your shit when you need it. And yes, they'll work this out. It's only a matter of time. :) Thanks for reading! :)

What can I say.  You must get tired of hearing "another great chapter", but it is always so true.  You convey their acts and emotions so well.  It is easy to picture the scene erupting from your words.  I love how your mind works.



Author's Response:

I have a confession to make...I will never get tired of hearing 'another great chapter.' ;) I live for it. :) I'm I'm glad that you can see it happening in your head. It's really one of the best compliments a writer can get - that the characters are alive and real. :) Thanks for reading! :)

Love how Brian and Justin can fight and work their way through it. Also that Gus and Jenny try to make things better even though they don't know what is wrong.



Author's Response:

They always seem to get back to each other in the end, and that is the important thing. :) And the kids are wonderful in this; and to be honest, I'm sure they more than they are letting on. Kids see things, even if they don't fully understand what they are seeing at the time. I guess time will tell. Thanks for reading! :)

I really not sure that this is fairly that all is about Justins guilt. I understand that Bri is hurt. But a few monthes ago Jus ended in the hospital because Bri decided not to tell about loft. He keeps information about Blaine. Not fair! ((



Author's Response:

It's not just about Justin's guilt; it is mearly a facet of the problem and one that needed to be addressed. Brian has his own blame in the situation between them, but we cannot overlook Justin's actions. The point is, they are both in the wrong. They had good intentions; there is nothing wrong in wanting to protect each other, but keeping secrets is never the way to go. And that is something that will be adressed on Brian's side soon. Thanks for reading! :)
